    I need help on attaining the weapons and other items along the way.
    I made it all the way to the top of Gran mountain only to find that
    I needed the grappling hook and or other items.  As I destroyed
    the Pragokelis', Rolphers and other nastys I see the "items" appear
    on the screen but I don't know how to take them and then select
    them on the sub-screen so I can  use them.  Any helpful hints would
    be very much appreciated.

     Don't ignore the booklet as they give you the location of the five
 treasures of Indora. Basically, you fight your way through to the end
 of each area and pick up the prize. Sounds easier than it is. My son
 and I have 4 of the 5 but can't figure out how to get to the Island
 of Dorago. Help?
    
    
     Unfortunately, it takes quite a while to get to all the places
    and you can't save it unless you just leave the box on until you
    get to the end.

    Re .1:
    
    To get an item, just walk over it.  You do not need to select them on
    the subscreen; they are automatically available.  For example, to use
    the grappling hook, just point upward and shoot (and hold the button
    down).  To use the gear that carries you across ropes, move near the
    end of the rope and move around a bit until you hear the "clink".
    
    You have to go through each of the areas in a certain order; the only
    way to find out is try.  If you do not have what you need, you will
    come to a point you cannot pass.
    
    
    Re .2:
    
    You get to the island by using the device that carries you across
    ropes.  You also need the coil of rope, so that you can send it across
    the water to the island.

    Re .2:
    
    When I walk over them do they appear on my sub-screen in the "windows"
    as they appear to do in the book?  When I walk over the items, I
    hear a "beep" but they never seem to appear on my sub-screen, and
    I move my sub-screen pointer and nothing appears to happen???
    
    More help would appreciated because the game is not being used because
    I can't get these weapons.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Phil

    Re .4:
    
    Most of them appear in the bottom-right box of the sub-screen.  Moving
    your sub-screen pointer will not do anything; they are not things you
    point to.  The pointer can change the magic you are about to use (to
    restore health or do two other things) and switch between the flute and
    your normal weapon, I think, but you do not get the flute until late in
    the game.

    Greetings - I'm entering this question for my son, so please excuse
    me if the terminology is incorrect.
    
    He has played RYGAR for the last week or so and is doing well except
    that he has not been able to find the 'wind pulley'. He believes
    that this is in 'Eruga', but is not sure where.
    
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Re .6:
    
    I haven't gotten that far yet, but there is an "Idol" with a nasty
    robot guarding the entrance.  It's located close to the entrance,
    up about four levels and you need the grappling hook weapon because
    you go as high as you can, move to the right onto a unconnected
    chunk of rock and then point upward and extend your hook and you'll
    find the Idol.  I can't remember what I found there so good luck,
    
    (I must start taking notes....)
    
    I have two questions.....how do you do a form feed in NOTES so I
    can locate spoilers after one and.....in RYGAR has anyone gotten
    to the very top of Gran mountain and how?
    
    Great game and great graphics and I've been humming the music in
    my sleep!
    
    Phil

    
    
      .7   I agree the music is very good. Wait till you here the
    background music during the last section. I still would have liked
    a second round with added difficulty or objects/treasures at least
    re-arranged, but no such luck.
    
                                                                  RONM
    

    Re .7:
    
    If you are using the default editor (TPU/EVE), you can get a form-feed
    by pressing control-V and control-L.  The control key is just like the
    shift keys; you hold it down, press a letter key, and let it go.  I've
    finished the game, so I have been to the top of Gran mountain.
    
    The entrance to the tower is up a few levels from the entrance to the
    rest of the game, and to the right.  You will need lots of energy plus
    enough of the mind-power things to restore your energy plus the
    medicine to restore your energy.

        I'm looking  for  a  new game and considering RYGAR as the next
        one.  The  question is, I've completed Zelda and Metroid, would
        RYGAR be a challenge, or just a re-hash of the same ideas?
        
        Thanks,

    HELP!!!I have gotten all of the inventroy required by completing
    each of the tasks. THis has enabled me to get to the floating castle
    and to the final test with the last monster.  However, I cannot
    seem to figure out how to defeat this creature.  Any clues or hints
    from anyone that might have faced the final trial?

    
    
         .11   Make sure that you power up before going in for the final
    battle. Go for the neck/head area, just keep hacking away. You may
    find that he can be attacked easier from behind.

    Re .11:
    
    Make sure you have three things:
    
    	o full power
    	o seven of the "mental power" tokens so you can restore power
    	o the medicine that restores power
    
    This will let you restore power twice during your fight with the
    monsters, assuming you get through the rest of the castle without a lot
    of damage.  Then just fight.  Don't waste any time; hit as fast as you
    can.  I made it just as I thought the last of my power gave out.

    I still can not get to the "Palace of Dorago".  I have
    the grappling hook, crossbow, wind pulley, and coat of
    arms.  I can see the island, but when I try to shoot the
    crossbow over to it, nothing happens.  Am I missing something?
    
    Spoilers both welcome and encouraged.

        Re Dorago....
        
        *SPOILER* follows <FF>
        

        
        You have  to  get  onto  the  first island by means of the wind
        pulley, go north  and then west following the coast round until
        you get to the  tree  stump.  Stand on the stump (or very close
        to it) and press the  button  - the rope will eventually extend
        over to the island.  The positioning is fairly critical so keep
        trying.
        
        Good luck,

    The Player's Guide has pretty good maps, so I can answer questions.
    (Please don't ask for copies from the Player's Guide; I think I would
    get too many requests to handle if I started copying from it.)

   I have all of the weapons you need to get to finish, but I can't
 find the "Tower of Lile"(that's what one of the Indoras God's calls
 it) or (Tower of Life).  Can anyone help me?

    This question is also for my sons:
    They have the grapling hook, and have reached 'Eruga'.  However,
    they can not find the 'wind pulley'.
    They have read replys .6 & .7 to this note, but still can not find
    it.
    They're wondering if they need to kill the two-headed dragon at
    the end of the 'Eruga' before one of the gods will give them
    the wind pulley.   Currently they stay on a branch of the tree and
    jump over the objects the two-headed monster is firing at them.
    Do they need to kill the monster, before they can get the wind pulley?
    
    Thanx
    Paul

    Re .17, .18:
    
    Yes, you must kill the two-headed dragon at the end of Eruga.  I seem
    to recall being able to jump on top of it and hit, but that may have
    been a fluke. 
    
    To find the tower, look in:
    
    Rolsa Valley.  There is a place where you can go way up.  Play the
    flute.
    
    
    				-- edp 

    There is an easier way to kill "Eruga" and most of the other monsters
    you have to kill:
    
    
    <semi-spoiler follows>
    
    
    
    If you get enough of those "minds" you can use the "attack and assail".
    It makes it a lot easier to kill him.  If you want to make it even
    easier, then get right in front of him, use "attack and assail"
    and hit him at the same time.  When the "attack and assail" runs
    out just keep hitting him.

    If you thought that this game is exiting, wait till you get in the
    castle!!!  I'm lucky I completed it when I did because my brothers
    keep lending it to their friends so I never get a chance to play
    it.  I had it back for 2 days, then I completed it.  It turned out
    that I knew where the tower as I was just blowing the flute wrong.
    (How embarresing!!!(sp???))

    p.s. I will give advice and help.

    YOU MUST KILL THE 2 HEADED DRAGON BEFORE YOU CONTINUE.  TO DO SO
    YOU MUST FIRST BUILD YOU YOUR POWER UP CAPIBILITIES... THEN YOU
    JUMP ON HIS HEAD CONTINUOUSLY WHILE AVOIDING HIS SHOTS AT YOU...
    EVENTUALLY HE WILL GO TO SLEEP AND YOU CAN THEN JUMP OFF AND KILL
    HIM...  IT TOOK ME MANY HOURS TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT...

    I have not figured out how the "Attack and Assail" works yet...
    I have aquired all treasures and confronted Ligar but without any
    luck in killing him...  My tone and last are at 4095 which is the
    maximum and my mind is full. I also had the medicine... 
    Will the "Attack and Assail" help me here? And how is it used...
    I select it on the subscreen and push "B" but I don't see any evidence
    of it working... Do I need to go to the main screen and then push
    "B"?
    This game is great... I started playing it at 5:30 last nite and
    quite with frustration at 10:30 after being destroyed by Ligar several
    times... Each time having to leave the castle to build up my mind...
    Did you know there is a place in the castle to get medicine and
    your life power refreshed.? that helps...
    
    I love Rygar!
    
    Buster

    Buster,
             It's been a while since I played RYGAR but, you are on
    the right track. You will need attack and assail to defeat Ligar.
    You use a & a by selecting a & a on your sub-screen. After you have
    made your selection (arrow is next to attack & assail) push the
    A button on your controller. You should see your mind powers disappear
    on the screen with the exception of two. I would suggest trying
    it out while you are in the lower levels to be sure it works. You
    will see evidence of it working when you push the B button. Every
    enemy around you will be destroyed  leaving nothing except energy
    viles and mind powers. Remember, you will need mind powers to beat
    Ligar.
    
    good luck,
    
    Brian  << RYGAR alumni >>

Thank You Brian, 
    I just want to see if I understand what you are saying... When I
    get to Ligar I should go the subscreen and select "attack and assail",
    then push the A button and my mind should go to 2... This will then
    weaken Ligar...  When I am in the sub worlds I should use the "B"
    button and this will destroy all on the screen... Is this right?
    
    Thanks for your response, I will be attacking Ligar tonite... I
    will let you know what happens...
    
    buster

    Buster,
            You are just about right.. You use mind powers in the sub
    worlds in the same manner you would use them against Ligar. When
    you have collected enough you select them the way I mentioned
    previously (push A) and you're off to the races.. The important
    thing to remember is, when you reach the room that Ligar is in
    ( up in the sky castle ) select your mind powers before you go into
    the room. When you get into the room push B and you inflict serious
    damage upon old Ligar baby. There is one more trick to killing Ligar.
    Mind powers will weaken him, but you must finish him off with your
    weapon.. Remember, mind powers= sub-screen, select a & a, push A,
    get out of sub-screen, push B. This works in the sub worlds as well
    as Ligar's castle.. I goofed, push B when enemies are around you..
    
    may you free your people.......
    
    Brian

    I cannot seem to be able to play the flute!!!!
    
    I got to this point last night. I have gone to all the other worlds
    and collected the weapons, and the FLUTE. I collected the bottle
    of life but needed to use it to get the flute.
    I have seven mind powers etc.
    
    I am standing on the TOP of the tower (not the sides). I go to the
    sub screen to select the flute. It IS in the box and the arrow DOES
    point to it.  I press A (or B doesn't seem to matter) but nothing
    happens !!!!!!!
    
    Took over an hour to get to this point.
    
    HOW DO YOU PLAY THAT THING!!!
    
    ANY help gratefully accepeted. (even Jethro Tull records)
    Steve.

    
    Are you playing the flute in the sub screen? If you are then don't.
    
    Get back to the main screen and play it. If nothing happens then
    maybe you have not seen all of the 5 gods that are required?
    

    
    	Arrgghh!!!!!!!
    
    	I played again last night (takes about 2 hours to get to the
    top of that tower with all the required items) and it worked this
    time. I had tried to do the A and/or B button in the main screen
    not the sub-screen. Oh well dummy! (what should I expect at 1:00
    in the a.m.)
    
    	Last night I battled in the castle for about 45 minutes and
    gave up. Those ghost demons are a BEAR! Need to get out of castle
    all the way back to the land to power up just to get to the first
    hermit that gives you the medicine and full power. I think I might
    give it one more try this weekend when I have the time
    
    	I think I can do it if I can get the full hearts, medicine and
    7 mind powers just as I get to the final entrance.
    
             SOOoooooo close last night!!!! Arrgghh!!!!!!!!!

    
    There is a place you can power up in the castle. Just go on a search
    and destroy mission and yo'll find it.

	Hello !  I've been playing Rygar between Zelda and Goonies II since
	Christmas.  Is there an order in which to proceed in?  First, I
	assume get the grapling hook, then where should I go?  I have gone
	to Eurga(sp?) and defeated that dude, and I've smashed that spider,
	then where should I go?  Is there any way to save this game?  It
	takes a whole day to get to the spider, then I have to turn the
	thing off to retire for the evening.  So, it's frustrating.  Any
	help or clues or spoilers or tricks in defeating these guys -
	I've got the N.E.S. Max -

	Thanks
	Debbie
	

    I believe the order of weapons are as follows:
    
    Grapling Hook     Garloz
    Wind Pulley       Eruga
    Cross bow         Den of Seguila
    Coat of Arms      Lapis
    Suit of Armor     Palace of Dirago (just can't seem to get here!)

    I've played this game twice now, and each time have come up empty
    when I reach the Tower of Lile (Life?).  I have the Flute and the
    Bottle of Strength, but lacking the Suit of Armor.  Is there a 
    special way of crossing to Dirago?  Is there a sound telling you
    if you're at the right spot?  The kids can't wait to see the
    "FLOATING CASTLE"!!!!!   And neither can I!!!!!
    
    
    						* Chris *

    LIGAR bit the dust last nite!!!!!!  It took some time figuring out
    how to cross to the palace of dirago, but I finally did it!!!!
    SPOILER?:
    
    To cross to Dirago, stand behind the stump and press B.  The cross
    bow should shoot across to the stump on the island.  Make sure
    you have all your "MINDS" and the jar of PHYSICAL STRENGTH and
    full POTENTIAL POWER.  
    
    Instead of fighting the DEMON GHOSTS, I recommend you jump over
    them and enter the passageways.....worked well with me.  
    
    Also, be prepared to move quickly when you cross the open gaps
    with the crossbow, or the GHOSTS will knock you off the edge!!
    
    
    					Love that ending!!!
    
    
    
    							* Chris *

	Let me get this straight, first I get the grappling hook, wind
	pulley,cross bow, coat of arms, suit of armor.  When do I go for
	the flute?  Where is the jar of Physical Strength found?  Is it
	refillable?  I mean once used, is it gone?  Thanks for any and all
	answers.

	    debbie
	    
	    
	    

    Deb,
    
         The grappling weapon first (Garloz).  On to Eruga for the wind
    pulley.  Back to Garolz and enter the Den of Seguila for the cross
    bow.  By this time I usually have 8 hearts and proceed to Lapis
    (located in Garloz).  Then forward to the Palace of Dirago for the
    Coat of Arms.  Back to Gran Mountain,  power up and head for the
    Flute.  Back in Garloz, there is a place to receive the Jar of 
    Physical Strength, then on to the Tower of Lile (Life).  Enter
    the Floating Castle of Rolsa.
    
    There are places where the "gods" ask you if you have the Coat of
    Arms yet, which when you do, they will give you the Jar plus fill
    your potential.  Remember, have all MINDS, JAR & all POTENTIAL power
    upon entering "ROLSA".
    
    About the jar, once you've used it, that's it!!
    
    
    					Hope this helps,
    
    
    						* Chris *

	Thanks, Chris, for the hints.  I will try them out this weekend.
	Did you have trouble defeating the guy by the flute, I forget his
	name?

		Debbie
		

    
    	Deb,
    
    		As long as you are POWERED UP before meeting up the
    		him, you shouldn't have any problems getting the
    		flute......Hope things went well this weekend!!!
    
    
    					* Chris *

	Chris,
		You won't believe this - I didn't play RYGAR this weekend.
		I have been playing ZELDA II or THE ADVENTURES OF LINK.
		I am addicted to my NES.  This system has some good games
		and I want to play them all NOW.  I'm that kind of person.
		I hope to get to RYGAR soon but these questions and answere
		will help me when I do so don't despair, or give up
		answering

		my questions, O.K.?

		I don't like the fact (in RYAR) that when you loose all 3
		lives, you loose all the "minds" that you have accumulated.
		Is there any way to save them??

		Debbie
		

    
    	Well Deb,
    
    
   		I wish I could tell you yes, but NO!  Everything else
    		is saved (with the exception of hearts, you start up
    		with only 3).  Your best bet is when you start back
    		up, bang on the enemy!!  
    
    		I love the game and play it all the time.  Wish I 
    		could find Zelda II or Link, games are scarce up here
    		in Maine.
    
    		Any more questions, just holler!!

    My son and I are "TRYING" to find the wind pully in Eruga and can't.
    We can defeat the two headed dragon and only lose one heart in the
    process, but the dragons cries or howling continues. Is this ok???
    And where is that wind pully?????
    
    
    Please help!!
    
    John.
    
    P.S. We just got the game and enjoy it very much.

    It has been along time but let me see...........

    I believe the creature you speak of is more Bear than dragon, (yes?)
    anyway....I found that if you avoid dieing and this creature gets
    past you (are you on a tree limb?) it will disappear and the growling
    will continue. This seems to be a bug, not a feature. 
    
    You have not killed the beast and there does not see to be a way
    to get the beast back on the screen with out returning to the forest
    and reentering. 
    
    Power up with as many of the super blasts ( I don't remember the
    correct term) and jump on the head while unleashing these. It should
    drop the creatures power enough to "off" it with your regular weapon.
    
    As I said, it has been awhile. If this sounds way off base, reply
    with more detail as to where you are. Good luck!!

    OK, that worked. After killing the dragon/bear the door opened up
    on the other end. NOW!!!! Earler on in this note the mention of
    the cross bow was made and this was in the ice type world with the
    guru being garded by a robot. We've killed the robot but I can't
    find the spot to climb up to one of the gods to get the cross bow.Is
    this what I'am supposed to be doing?????
    
    
    John.
    

    Now let me think...............................................

    I believe you will see what appear to be tree stumps located on
    the edges of these ice masses. Using the Wind Pulley allows you
    to travel from stump to stump (on another ice ledge). Between using
    this and the Grappling Hook you can move where you have to. Remember
    you can go up as well as down with the Grappling Hook. Test the
    waters, so to speak, and throw the hook up & down from every ledge.
    You might be in for some surprises. 

      I thought the instruction booklet showed where everything was at.
    mine did????????????????????????????????????????? very simple game!

    Good Game! I finished it in two days playing 2-3 hours a day without 
    an instruction booklet. Great fun! Too bad they don't have a Rygar II.

    I have the Japanese version and no instruction booklet so I am totally
    lost. I am still stuck at the bottom of the mountain. Can someone tell
    me how to reach the top. I know I need the hook but where can I find
    it?
    
    Thanks,
